Your child’s first session with TimeLine is an exciting step on their journey toward enhanced literacy and a deeper understanding of social studies. It’s natural to have questions or feel a little anxious before diving into a new educational experience. That’s why we’ve prepared this guide to walk you through what to expect—so you can help your child make the most out of their TimeLine education.
Prepping for the Journey (Before the Session):
Before your child logs into their first TimeLine session, there are some simple yet important steps to set them up for success. Have a reliable internet connection, a working microphone, and a webcam ready. Make sure Google Docs is accessible, as our tutors often use this platform for real-time feedback and collaborative writing exercises. It’s not just about technology; a quiet space free from distractions is equally crucial. All set? Great, you’re ready to go!
The TimeLine Experience (During and After the Session):
During the session, expect an engaging blend of interactive teaching tailored to your child’s literacy level and interests. The first 10 minutes will usually be an assessment phase, where the tutor gauges your child’s comfort level with the topic at hand. Then, it’s a deep dive into literacy-enhancing activities, enriched with social studies context, lasting for about 30-35 minutes. The remaining time is reserved for wrapping up the session and discussing the roadmap ahead, which could include recommended readings or activities.
Your child will receive follow-up materials based on their session within 24 hours. This could range from personalized reading lists to written feedback on their performance. We encourage an open dialogue; feedback from you and your child helps us continually refine our approach to meet your needs better.
